DWTS' Lance Bass: What You'll See on Tonight's Show

Lance Bass is keeping an exclusive diary only on Usmagazine.com about his experience competing on Dancing With the Stars. Check back each Monday to keep up with Bass' progress, and get behind-the-scenes dish on ABC's hit series.

TEAM TIME
Due to the Presidential Election on Tuesday, we'll dance tonight and get our results on Wednesday during the live elimination show. The team dance is something new on the show this year. They do it on the British version and I really like it. Now that theres six couples left, we split up its me, Cody [Linley] and Susan Lucci and we have to dance the cha cha. The other team, Maurice, Warren and Brooke, has the paso doble.

We have to come up with a routine where we all dance together at the beginning, have our own solos, and then dance again together again at the end. Lacey [Schwimmer] is choreographing our routine and our solo, which is a good ten counts of eight we have to do individually. The scores that we get as a group from the judges will be added on to our individual scores when we dance the rumba.

See what Lance and the other celebs looked like before DWTS.

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBA!
Its going to be so difficult for us to impress the judges this week, because last week, our jive was so fun and energetic and this week we go straight to the rumba, which is so opposite, it's not my favorite. It's the "dance of love." Were going to do from the perspective of a new couple who are just discovering each other. We're making it very Earthy - we'll be barefoot - like were on the beach doing the dance. Its going to be very cute and sexy and hopefully entertaining. Were dancing to John Mayers Your Body is a Wonderland. The more familiar the song is, the more people vote for you, and this is one of the most popular songs hes ever done, so I think itll help.

Look back at the craziest DWTS costumes of all time.

WELCOME BACK, EDYTA
Its going to be really interesting to see how Edyta [Sliwinska] and Cody work together. Codys 18 and young Julianne [Hough] was perfect for him because they were that young, cute couple around the same age and now hes with sexy, sultry Edyta. Its going to be funny to see this little teenager dance with this sex goddess. Either Edytas going to teach him some new things and make him look that much better, or it could throw him off, since he has to work with a new partner. Finally we have an advantage over him.

*NSYNC THROWBACK
I had to throw in some choreography from our song "Bye Bye Bye" during last week's hip-hop group routine! I was 'battling" Susan Lucci, so I wanted to do that "Bye Bye Bye" move right in her face. It was so funny to battle her, because shes the sweetest woman in the world. Im glad we did the group routine, because viewers saw how opposite hip-hop and ballroom are. Some of the celebrities had trouble, but the hip-hop routine was such a breath of fresh air for me. I wish we could do hip-hop every week! I ended up giving the mullet I wore during the routine to [judge] Carrie Ann [Inaba] after the show as a peace offering. She better give us good scores this week.
